Ted, the preview button has stopped working for me! I have to post and go straight to thread to make sure it looks ok.

Any ideas? I'm running IE 6. If that makes any difference.

Cheers, Brian.

I had a similar situation, pressed the preview button on my last post to make sure everything was ok, but it cut off the end of the post.

Just tried previewing and everything seems fine.

Thanks

Works for me, using IE 6. You started to run a popup blocker, or installed Yahoo/Google tool bars recently? They tend to have popup blockers built in. Hold down CTRL when you click on the button, and see if you get the preview pane, as CTRL tends to be used to indicate that you wish to allow the popup...

Long posts are truncated by the preview window, and it only allows a certain number of characters/lines. I think Ted said he was working on one that showed everything.

How do people know this kind of stuff? what else do all those buttons scattered around the keybord do?

EDIT: Brainy Box's idea didn't work though. Still no preview! Turned Norton off but still nuffin :curious:.
